Latest update from SLT

Over the past month, SLT has met each Thursday morning and discussed, among other things:

• The progress of the works on the Whispering Gallery including pre-contract discussions around access and contractor working hours

• What is needed for the third and final phase of work on the Remember Me project

• The writing of the Annual report

• A possible grant application to the Goldsmiths Company

• The wording for Safeguarding information posters to be displayed at key points in the Cathedral 

• The future location of the Light of the World. It has been trialled in the Minor Canons’ Aisle and will now be moved for a second trial period to the South Nave Aisle.

• We also received two presentations from Madura Advisory Ltd on the work they have been doing on fundraising campaign readiness for the Cathedral

First Aid training update

From Gemma Winpenny, Deputy Events Coordinator and First Aid Assessor:

A huge well done and thank you to Stephanie Brasier, Felicidad Martinez, Sarah Jane McGregor, Ellie Bound, Alice Bray, Margaret O’Sullivan, Denise Caplin, Jane Richardson, Ellen Sun and Lisa Shuttleworth, who all recently completed their 3-day First Aid at Work qualification. They all passed successfully, and we’re delighted to have them as part of the team of First Aiders here at St Paul’s.

In-house since January 2023, we now have 16 newly qualified First Aiders, which is fantastic. Further First Aid courses will be available for all staff and clergy in the autumn, and we will share the dates of these soon.

If you use anything out of a First Aid Kit whilst on-site, please make sure you inform Sharon Raynham and Chris Head so that we can re-stock that particular kit as soon as possible.

In whatever way you help our visitors and passers-by at St Paul’s, or perhaps on your way to and from work, thank you all very much.

Checking voicemail messages

With the Cathedral getting busier and busier, it's more important than ever to check your phone messages, and so here's a gentle reminder from the IT team.

If you are a staff member who has a work phone, the voicemail inbox limit is 40 messages per extension, with a maximum voicemail message length of 5 minutes. Once this limit is reached, calls that would normally go to voicemail will be cut off. 

You can check your voicemail in Microsoft Teams, or if you have a physical handset, you can check your voicemail from there too. 

If you need any help with accessing or retrieving your voicemail, please do contact the IT Helpdesk.

Contacting the HR team

If you need to reach HR with any questions, requests or follow-ups then please always use the AskHR@stpaulscathedral.org.uk email address rather than contacting individual members of the team.
